In 1880 the above two series were combined into the ten volume "Little Picture Series" and the ten volume "Cloth of Gold Series" series.

Note that "Old Church" was originally in both series. Bit of Sunshine was added to the new series in 1880.

The "Cloth of Gold Series" was published in 1880-1881. The "Little Picture Series" was published in 1880-1882. The name was changed to the "Little People's Series" in 1883 and to the "Snowy Day Series" in 1884.

There is no indication within the books to which series a format belongs. These series came in boxed sets originally and the box stated the series name. I have not seen any of the boxed sets at this time.

Format of the books:
Cloth. Various colors. All have various black line drawn decorations or illustrations on the front cover which surround a non book specific appliqué. 16 mo (The books of the All Picture Series were 32 mo.)
